Package into a native installer fails on Linux (Flex SDK 4.5) : "Invalid AIR file"

Hi,
We've moved our application to compile against the 4.5 SDK.
We're compiling it with Flash Builder (on mac) into an air file and as our application is using NativeProcess API, we're packaging it on each platform into a native installer with the following command (linux example) : adt -package -target native app.deb app.air
We think we fall into the same issue ashttp://forums.adobe.com/message/3271944#3271944 but for the 4.5 DSK.
On Linux it used to work with the following environment (env1):
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java Sun 1.6.0_24
- Flex SDK 4.1.0.16076 + Adobe Air SDK 2.5.0
It stops to work when we upgrade to the new Flex SDK (env2):
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java Sun 1.6.0_24
- Flex SDK 4.5.0.20967 (with the default embeded Adobe Air SDK 2.6)
The faut message is "Invalid AIR file" and nothing is logged in the log file (/home/<username>/.appdata/Adobe/AIR/Logs/Install.log).
1) The .air file is installing correctly on env2 (without the support of the NativeProcess as expected)
2) We also tried to compile the project directly on env2 :
amxml app.mxml
adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore cert.p12 app.air app-app.xml air.swf
The .air file is installing fine but the packaging into a native process fails in the same way...
3) We tried to package a native installer of our .air file on env1 and it works!!! (the installed application seems to work fine also on env2!!!)
Are we missing something or does it seems to be a bug of the Flex SDK 4.5?
Are there some restrictions to package a native installer with the Flex SDK 4.1 a air app build with the Flex SDK 4.5 ?
Thanks in advance,
Mich

Hi,
Finally we figure out how to solve the issue.
The packaging into native .deb installer fails as explain above because with the hole Flex SDK 4.5 (adt -version told 2.6.0.1920).
The packaging is successfull if only Air SDK 2.6 is install.
What is strange that both adt seems to be the same "2.6.0.1920" (found with "adt -version").
Can someone from the Adobe dev team explain it?
I suppose as the Flex SDK is not available for the Linux platform, the download only contains the Air SDK for Windows and Mac OS as opposed to the specific download of the Air SDK for te Linux platform...
Thanks,
Mich

Package manager non admin installs failing

Hi, hoping someone could help.
I'm attempting to make a .pkg installer; the installer basically installs my program (configurable by the user, but typically will be to a subfolder of their home directory), and then runs a postflight script. Neither of these actions (I believe) should require root access; the script simply makes some changes (via sed) to some of the files installed, and then launches another .pkg file (via open) which was installed along with everything else in the directory the user chose.
When creating the pkg I selected "No authorization required", as I would like users without root access to be able to install my software, if possible.
Attached is the error log produced when my .pkg was run. It seems to be an error deleting the package's scratch temp folder. Any illumination provided would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Ok, a colleague with more unix understanding than I helped me work through this.
When the installer is run, the entire contents of the pkg are copied to PKInstallSandbox-tmp, into a structure mimicking the one they're going to be installed into.
My project file was set up to preserve the permissions for each file and folder within an app bundle that was a component in the pkg. the problem was, some of those files were not even owner writable - they looked like -r-xr-xr-x. When the installer was run without root authorization, it was then unable to delete these files which were in subdirectories below PKInstallSandbox-tmp, hence it was unable to delete PKInstallSandbox-tmp. Since successfully doing this cleanup was (apparently) a make-or-break step in the installation procedure, the entire install failed. After discussion, the files in question didn't need to be unwritable by anyone, so I just chmod u+w'd them before putting them into the pkg and all was well.
Not sure why this issue only reared its ugly head when I had scripts activated, but it didn't appear when I had them disabled. Hence it seemed to me to be script-related, but it wasn't.
At any rate, solved.

Sun Application Server 9 installation failed in Linux RedHat

I used sjsas_pe-9_0-linux-ml.bin for the installation.
First of all, it was going very-very slow. Then I noticed that it got stuck on unpacking sun-as-jsr88-dm.jar. Then it said that application got failed. In the log there was a "CannotExecute" exception while trying to use asadmin.
I checked sun-as-jsr88-dm.jar, I believe that it was never unpacked, because the only thing inside was the manifest.
I tried it few times, the same thing.
What is the problem?

Never mind - fixed it. I deleted the path variable before reinstalling and it installed successfully.

Does anyone have an idea whats wrong?
Petri Väkeväinen

Hi Petri,
It seems that the "Invalid Entry" error will occur if any invalid character was
entered while the install was going on. Is it possible that this happened? Could
you please try the install again and let us know what happens? I will also try
here in our lab and let you know if I find any problem?
Also can you post the checksum and size of your installer?
Thanks,

Adt package fails on Linux w/no information

Hi, I have a project setup and am building native installers happily on both Win7 and Mac OS X using ant and flexTasks.jar.
The Flex SDK version is 4.1.0.16076
adt version "2.0.2.12610"
When I run the build on Ubuntu 10.04, It compiles and builds a .swf, but then the native package installer fails with this:

So, I tried to look up result 12 here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappsflex/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7fd6. html#WSBE9908A0-8E3A-4329-8ABD-12F2A19AB5E9
I guess the only thing it references is
12
Invalid input

I tried running adt itself with all the same params. It looks like this:

I have no other insight into why this is failing. This same build file works just fine on both Mac/Windows and I'm creating native installers for those operating systems that work. Why is it failing on Linux?

After some more playing, I was able to get it to work with the latest versions of Ubuntu, Flex SDK, AIR SDK and the Sun JDK:
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Sun JDK 1.6.0.23
- Flex SDK 4.1.0
- AIR SDK 2.5.0
Strangely, I think this is the same config I had before when it wasn't working. However, this time I made it a point to install the Sun JDK manually, rather than via a DEB or other installer.
Here are links to all of the Linux packages I used:
Java SE 6 Update 23 > jdk-6u23-linux-i586.bin (Direct download from Sun/Oracle)
Flex SDK 4.1.0 > flex_sdk_4.1.0.16076.zip (Direct download from Adobe)
AIR SDK 2.5.0 > AdobeAIRDSDK.tbz2 (Direct download from Adobe)
Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help.

Native application installer fails on Mac 10.5.8 every other time

Hello,
I have a native AIR 2.0 application with a native installer which I silently install as a part of a bigger package.
On Mac, I have a DMG which contains the native installer app and a shell script which copies the native installer app into a temporary folder, and then invokes it passing "-silent" option.
For some reasons the native installer fails every other time, i.e. if I install the app and then move it to trash and then try to re-install, the installer fails.
However if I try re-installing once again, installation succeeds. I can consistently reproduce this problem.
This seems to happen only on Mac OS 10.5.8. On 10.6.0 and above everything seems to work fine.
What can be the reason for such inconsistent behavior?
OS version is Mac OS 10.5.8, CPU: 2.8GHz Intel Core Duo
Below is the log for the cases when the installer fails:

Thanks in advance

Chris, thank you for your answer.
The only argument I pass into the installer command line is "-silent", i.e. the command line looks like
"/tmp/PixelNovel/Install Timeline.app/Contents/MacOS/Install Timeline" -silent
I've noticed that the installer fails only if it's called from a wrapper package. If I invoke the above command line directly from Terminal, the installer consistently succeeds.

Show progress bar and percents when packaging a native installer with adt packager

Hello,
Below is a simple example using the AIR's NativeProcess for compiling an air application into a native installer... Everything works fine, so at the end of the NativeProcess, the native installer (*.exe) is created... In this case, the application which I'm trying to compile is small (approx. 600KB)... However, if I have to package into native installer a bigger file (several MBs), I would like also to monitor the progress by using a progress bar and percents... How?
private var file:File
private var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo;
private var nativeProcess:NativeProcess;
private function compile():void{
file = new File("C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\bin\\java.exe");
nativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
var args:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();

Someone to offer a solution to this problem (if exists)?

Use adt to package an air installer success, but install this air file "sorry , an error has occured

hi everyone, i am using a bat file to package an air file ,
this application runs on windows 7 32 bit,
it need to call another windows application , so i google and then find i need to add -target native when package , so i added.
the bat file is like below:
========================================
@echo off
:: AIR application packaging
:: More information:
:: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=CommandLineTools_5.html#1035959
:: Path to Flex SDK binaries
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\AdobeAIRSDK\bin
:: Signature (see 'CreateCertificate.bat')
set CERTIFICATE=yeahCert.pfx
set SIGNING_OPTIONS=-storetype pkcs12 -keystore %CERTIFICATE% -tsa none
if not exist %CERTIFICATE% goto certificate
:: Output
if not exist air md air
set AIR_FILE=air/jonnson.air
:: Input
set APP_XML=application.xml
set FILE_OR_DIR=-C bin .
echo Signing AIR setup using certificate %CERTIFICATE%.
call adt -package %SIGNING_OPTIONS% -target native %AIR_FILE% %APP_XML% %FILE_OR_DIR%
if errorlevel 1 goto failed
echo.
echo AIR setup created: %AIR_FILE%
echo.
goto end
:certificate
echo Certificate not found: %CERTIFICATE%
echo.
echo Troubleshotting:
echo A certificate is required, generate one using 'CreateCertificate.bat'
echo.
goto end
:failed
echo AIR setup creation FAILED.
echo.
echo Troubleshotting:
echo did you configure the Flex SDK path in this Batch file?
echo.
:end
pause
======================================================
after run this bat , the air file is successfully built , but when i want to install this air , it says "sorry ,an error has occured ..... bla bla installer file is damaged....bla bla "
but when i remove the red part -target native in the command above then run it again , the new packaged air file can install successfully, but the application can not call other windows apllication anymore, nativeprocess.issupported always returns false when running
so seems like the problem is all about -target native , deos anyone know whats wrong ?
this problem really bothers me long time , any help will be appreciated. thanks in advance!

Nice! I swear I tried that URL (substituting "mac" for "win" and "MAC" for "WIN" in the one relaxatraja posted), but I guess I missed something.
Ironically, it doesn't include a binary either, but a simple alias works:
alias pfi='java -jar /path/to/PFI/lib/pfi.jar'
And it did indeed produce an ipa without error. I don't have my hardware with me, but I'll be able to test it tonight. Meanwhile, I think I'm in business. Thank you all!

Adobe AIR Runtime Redistribution and Native Installer

Will there be new instructions for Adobe AIR 2.0 Runtime Redistribution? In particular, I'm looking for instructions on how to use the runtime redistribution installer to perform a "side-car installation" of AIR 2 alongside an application that uses the NativeProcess API (and so must be built into a native installer instead of a .air file).
Thanks!

Thirded!
On a test deployment using SCCM and the supplied Adobe AIR Runtime Installer files, we have managed to install our application with the 1.5.3 Air Framework with no major issues other than having to disable the Auto Update feature that doesnt really work in a corporate environment. Everything was absolutely fine until the release of AIR 2. Now, the test machines are prompted to install the updated Adobe Air 2 framework once a week, see an excerpt from an Adobe blog post below:
"In addition, once a week AIR apps check to see if an AIR update is available, and if so, users are presented with the option to update to the most up‐to‐date version, helping to ensure that end users get the benefits of improved security and performance."
That sounds great right? Except my users (like many other corporate users) don't have Admin permissions on their machines (hence the use of SCCM), with the result being resultant error messages when a user attemptes to install the AIR framework update without the necessary permissions.
All of the above would be fine if the Adobe AIR Runtime Installer files were updated to include the latest version of the runtime. This of course hasn't been done yet - does anyone know when this may happen? Can anyone help me with this or offer any advice?
I hope the above makes sense and I would really appreciate any help or advice!
Thanks!

Photoshop Camera Raw 6.2 Update Installation failed (MAC)

If you get the following error when updating ACR 6.2 on OSX:
"Photoshop Camera Raw 6.2 Update Installation failed"
Look for /Applications/Adobe
If it is a FILE instead of a folder then delete it.
Rerun the update.

Just a heads up.
